No agent found in pool which satisfies the specified demands: npm, Agent.Version

I've created a Azure agent on my PC and I'm trying to run my build pipeline on it:

pool:
  name: TestPool
  vmImage: PeterPCAgent

When I run it:

##[error]No agent found in pool TestPool which satisfies the specified demands: npm, Agent.Version -gtVersion 2.163.1

On my PC I have installed npm:

C:\Users\alucardu>npm -v
6.14.6

I've restarted the server and pc but I keep getting the same message.

In the Azure TestPool dashboard it doesn't show any agent either:

I did run through the New agent steps though.

Also when I close the local agent and run the pipeline I get the same message. So it looks like the issue is not NPM but that Azure is not connecting to my local agent:

Check all the pools and see where the agent is connected. – Shayki Abramczyk
Figured it out :) Didn't config the agent to the right pool. During config I added the agent to the default pool. So I removed the agent config from my local machine. Run the config again and now in pool added it to TestPool and voila :) – Peter Boomsma
Great :) I glad I helped you to find the RCA, I also added it as an answer :) – Shayki Abramczyk

You can see from the screenshot that you don't have agents in TestPool and this is the reason for the error message.

Check in which pool the agent is installed and change the pool name, or install a new agent in TestPool.
